THE ULTIMATE DUMMIES

SPECIAL POST

Spending the day cooped up in a car on the way home from a mini-vacation, one has the opportunity to hear a whole lot of views on a whole lot of subjects. In the midst of all of these talking heads, I heard a question of FOX NEWS:  "Just what can we do with all of the dumb people in the country, anyway?"  

In the interest of brevity, since I'm playing catch up this morning anyway, I suggest that we rout them all out of their plush Washington jobs, pronto.  If we, the people, continue to allow the Washington dummies to roost and propagate, then WE are the ultimate dumb guys.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR MUSLIM NEIGHBOR?

SPECIAL POST

On Monday, September 22nd, several American Muslim community leaders condemned ISIS and its actions at the Dallas Council on American Islamic Relations. The Muslim representatives included members from both Sunni and Shia sects, clergy members, law professionals, and civic leaders.  If that leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling, it shouldn't. 

While "several" spoke out against I.S.I.S. and its violent associates, there are abut 7 million Muslims in the United States who haven't.  Every minute of every day, Muslims in this country are being told by radical Muslims in the Middle East that the Jihad is here and they need to get with the program.  Does THAT leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling? 

Frankly, I don't know how you can tell the difference between a radical Muslim and a peaceful Muslim by looking at them.  So, if they are silent about their position, what are we to assume?  Is your Muslim neighbor planning to poison your water supply, take down the Internet, blow up the power  grid, or plant an I.E.D. at the local mall?  How do you know what his intentions are? 

They are quick to call themselves "Muslim Americans," but if they put "Muslim" before "America," are they really Americans?

GETTING INTO BED WITH IRAN

Secretary of State John Kerry Has been diligently working toward getting the U.S. into bed with Iran over the I.S.I.S. terrorist problem.  Kerry pushed with all of his might to persuade Iran President Hassan Rouhani to meet with President Obama at the United Nations, but Rouhani was quick to announce that he had no intentions of meeting with Obama... period.  In the meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron did arrange a meeting with Rouhani.  Evidently Rouhani prefers good tea to a beer in the Rose Garden.  

Why in the Sam Hell do we need to get into bed with Iran?  Those who get into bed with snakes are likely to get bitten.  This possibility creates noting but revulsion in my stomach and speaks volumes about our President.  Why Cameron wants to go there is beyond me, but he at least succeeded in upstaging Obama by a long shot; Obama has chirped relentlessly about his great idea of dialogue vs. bombs as a method for international relations, but it is Cameron who got the brass ring.   

Brass ring?  Circus?  Barack Hussein Obama?  Now, there's a crew that all seems to be in the same bed.  Well, once Obama gets bound and determined to do something stupid, he simply cannot be dissuaded.  Look for him to cave in on the Iranian nuclear program in exchange for their participation against I.S.I.S.  

Enjoy your crumpets.

POOF

SPECIAL POST

I haven't said much about these two "new" terrorist groups which pose an "imminent threat" to the U.S. and which were the cause for the Obama air campaign in Iraq and Syria.  I wanted to have as much of the truth out as possible before I started flapping off my gums.  

Khorasan and another Al-Qaeda offshoot were very close to launching an attack on the U.S. or Europe, according to Administration officials.  As I understand it, both groups hav been identified for some time and are therefore not "new."  I also have a problem with the vagueness of the report about an "imminent attack;" if that were to be the case, don't you think we'd know whether it was the U.S. or Europe that was in the cross-hairs?   There is quite a lot of difference between the two from a logistics standpoint, you know.  

Could it be that these "new" groups were only an excuse for the attacks into Syria? 

Think about it.  How were these terrorists going to get here... by boat or airplane?  Or are they already here?  If they are already here, how is our attack in Syria going to stop them?  They certainly wouldn't attack us by boat, so they would need access to airplanes.  Frankly, I smell a rat.  

My suspicions are further aroused by the chorus from Democrats, Administration officials and Peter King that we have to forget Obama's mistakes of the past and get totally behind him as we take on I.S.I.S. and other terrorist groups. Poof!  There goes Fast & Furious, Benghazi, the I.R.S. scandal and missing emails,  the V.A., the N.S.A.... everything just disappears!  

By the time the elections get here, Obama will have killed Bin Laden again, the two "new" terrorist groups will be defeated and I.S.I.S. will be hiding in caves. 

Please pass the Gray Poopon.

BOMBING RUNS: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING?

SPECIAL POST

Why all of the ruckus about the air strikes in Iraq and Syria?  We had already been conducting targeted strikes against I.S.I.S. sites in Iraq for about two weeks.  But, I think most of us were questioning whether or not other countries in the Middle East would join us in any campaign, for many reasons.  When we ventured into Syria with bombing and missile attacks it was, to be perfectly honest, a real shocker to discover that other players in the neighborhood were joining us. 

Congratulations, Mr. President, I never thought you'd do even that.  

Yet, newscaster after newscaster and pundit after pundit were all asking the same question: Once you chase the terrorists into the cities and towns to hide behind women and children, what's going to be next?  How are you going to finish them off?  

Everyone, including the Administration, admits that there are going to have to be "boots on the ground" to go after the terrorists and that it will take up to a year to get the Iraqi and Syria-rebel forces trained up to the task.  How are we going to fill the gap?  Are the airstrikes going to be the end of it?  

Only time will tell, of course.  Perhaps they have developed some strategy that we are unaware of, but, I doubt that we're going to see French, Italian, Spanish, British or Australian boots on the ground.  Maybe, after the elections, we'll find out. 

In the meanwhile, it's back to the real war... against global warming.

WORRIED ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY?

SPECIAL POST

With all of the discussion lately about terrorism in various parts of the world, you might be just like most Americans are today: concerned about the security of yourself, your family and your country.  A known nutcase with PTSD made it over the White House fence and into the side door; as if that isn't bad enough, he's illegally been on the White House grounds before.  Three top Afghan military officers walk out of a training program at Cape Cod and disappear.  It takes us two days to find them, only we didn't find them; the Canadians got them at the Niagara Falls border crossing. Oh... just a week before, two other Afghans walked out of a training at Quantico and were eventually discovered in the Georgetown district of Washington, DC. 

In the meanwhile, our southern border remains wide open.  Russia is reestablishing a spy and security center in Cuba that was summarily shut down after the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Russian military aircraft are buzzing our shores with frequency.  The Obama Administration is getting ready to bring "displaced" Syrians to America.  The CDC can't keep a lock on some of the most dangerous germs and viruses in the world.  

While Obama is on the golf course or out campaigning, just who in the hell is minding the store? 

Maybe we should ask the Boy Scouts of America to step in and give us a hand.  We obviously need all of the help we can get, as Obama has pleaded to the United Nations.

STOPPING INTERNET FRAUD AND HACKING

SPECIAL POST

In typical fashion, the Obama Administration is wringing its hands over the Internet problems and, in typical fashion, it even tried to give control of the Internet to the Russians on a silver platter so it could blame someone else.  

I contend that this is one instance where the U.S. needs to become an isolationist.  Let's isolate our Internet so that no foreign hackers can penetrate it.  In other words, we cut Internet access to anyone and everyone who is not physically within the U.S.  

"Oh my!" the naysayers roar.  "That will destroy international commerce.  People in the U.S. won't be able to email their cousins in Europe!" 

Hogwash.  All you have to do is to setup an Internet Exchange which can be joined by any business with overseas interests or any resident who wants to send emails overseas.  In order to join this exchange, you have to pay a fee, fully identify yourself, be supplied with changing pass-codes, have your computer outfitted with heightened security software, and fully identify your computer to the exchange.  By installing an internal code that is assigned by the exchange and changes every time you sign off, the exchange would be extremely difficult to penetrate and would form a firm barrier between the Internets of the U.S. and other countries. With changing codes, "spoofing" would become virtually impossible.  

Why haven't we made a move in this direction?  Do we suffer from the Syrian Rebel complex?

CONFRONTING EVIL

SPECIAL POST

If you Google "evil," you will learn that it is a noun, "profound immorality, wickedness, and depravity, especially when regarded as a supernatural force."  Synonyms are: wicked, bad, wrong, immoral, sinful, foul, vile, dishonorable, corrupt, iniquitous, depraved, reprobate, villainous, nefarious, vicious, malicious,

malevolent, sinister, demonic, devilish, diabolical, fiendish, dark;

monstrous, shocking, despicable, atrocious, heinous, odious, contemptible, horrible, execrable;lowdown, dirty.  I have a few more: "Satanic and terrorist" come to mind.  

In essence, evil is the exact opposite of good.  Evil has existed since the beginning of time on this Earth; why it has not been eradicated by now, I do not know.  What I do know is that evil has flourished and metastasized wherever it has been ignored and not confronted.  Perhaps evil has to rear its ugly head now and then just to keep us on our toes and vigilant.   

We have been lulled into a false sense of security by this President and his cohorts in Congress, and now we are faced with evil in the Middle East.  But, evil exists in the halls of Congress as well, where lobbyists and campaign contributions trump the will of the people who rightfully control government.  Wherever good people fail to demand goodness, evil exists.  

 

We've made some poor choices in our exercise of democracy, and we've loosened the definition of "good" to the point that evil has gained a strong foothold in this country and our government.  In government, evil has become a culture... a way of conducting the everyday business of the people.  

That's why our southern borders are wide open.  That's why we have a national drug problem.  That's why our educational system has morphed into a socialist propaganda machine.  That's why our President lies to us and gets away with it.  

The only way to get rid of evil is to confront it, head on.  That is why it is so important for all of us to go to the polls in November and to rout out the evildoers from Washington.  Those of us who believe in good simply cannot afford to sit this one out.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.  

OUR SOUTHERN BORDER: A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER

Law enforcement officials across our southern border are universal in their warnings: the wide-open border allows not only for the illegal immigration of Latin Americans, but also for the smuggling of drugs, illegal border activity by Mexican drug cartels and covert entry of terrorists into the United States.  Representative Trent Frank from Arizona says, "It is true that we know that ISIS is present in Ciudad Juárez or they were within the last few weeks.  So there's no question that they have designs on trying to come into Arizona."

Once here, any foreigner can travel anywhere undiscovered and with impunity; they don't ask you to identify yourself when you get on a bus.  Forged I.D.'s are a dime a dozen.  They're not going to go to a gun dealer and buy a gun, either; they bring what they need in that aspect with them.   And once here, those Middle Eastern types have hundreds of safe hiding places in Mosques throughout the country.  

Judicial Watch, a respected conservative media website, claims that "Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices," citing several anonymous "high-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources."  

While many Administration officials are quick to say there is "no credible evidence" to suggest that I.S.I.S. or any other terrorist group has ever crossed the southern border,  copies of the Quran and other evidence of Muslim activity in border areas has been discovered in the past.  And, of course, we have the recent arrest of several persons in Australia who intended to behead innocent citizens in the name of I.S.I.S.... and Australia doesn't let just anybody in.  

To shrug one's shoulders and ignore the danger along our southern border is a gross dereliction of duty on the part of our nation's President and those in the halls of Congress who blindly support his intransigent stance on national security protection of our borders.  They need to be removed from office, and November presents an ideal way to start.

SHAME ON AMERICA

SPECIAL POST

While I.S.I.S. threatened to lop off some heads in Australia and has made no bones about wanting to do the same to Americans anywhere in the world, while their ultimate goal is the extinction of democracy and while they are raining terror upon the face of the Middle East, Americans are torn between sitting on their butts in front of the tube and watching it or getting off their butts and going to fight it.  

Our Congress is pussy-footing around the whole I.S.I.S. thing, afraid to call them terrorists, afraid to call it war and afraid to fully commit to the extinction of them and their causes.  We are content to trust the fate of the free world to "doctors, lawyers and pharmacists" and to the Iraqi army which has proven itself to be unreliable at best.  We leave our borders wide open, steadfastly refusing to provide even a physical barrier to an I.S.I.S.invasion on American soil.  Indeed, we are on the verge of bringing "displaced" Syrian Muslims here to live.  

I suppose, if you rationalize it, you could say that not all Syrian Muslims believe in killing Christians and Jews, but you know damned well that this government is not going to discriminate when it starts bringing them here. 

Our President is trying desperately to save the Democratic Party from oblivion in November and is therefore openly attempting to lull us all into a very false sense of security in order to play down the threat.  This attitude from the White House is a definite parallel to the Benghazi coverup before the 2012 election: hide the truth from the American public at all costs. 

And 35% to 45% of this country is buying into the President's program of complacency in the face of terrorism.  

Shame on us.  It's bad enough that we are running our country into economic chaos for decades to come; now, we even turn the backs of our nation on the stark threat of radical terrorism.

DEBBIE WAZERNAME SCHULTZ ON THE SKIDS?

SPECIAL POST

POLITICO is reporting that top Democrats are losing confidence in Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as Party Leader.  The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee trivialized the plight of domestic violence victims Wednesday by comparing Republican right-to-work policies with wife-beating.  She has also recently criticized the White House on several occasions.  

Personally, I think they should keep her around as a constant reminder to the rest of the country as to how the Democrat Party thinks and acts.  She is the epitome of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Michelle Obama and Maxine Waters all rolled up into one.  The Democrats should get rid of their jackass mascot and just use her instead.

IS IT GOING TO BE A WAR, OR JUST PUSSY-FOOTING AROUND?

SPECIAL POST

They way it looks as a result of yesterday's Congressional hearings is that we're in for another damned-dumb war effort: run by politicians in Washington, with constraints upon  the military and no clear strategy to win.  They even admit that American boots will probably end up on the ground.  That means hundreds, if not thousands, of more casualties in war we will never win. 

Don't get me wrong. I understand that we are not going to effectively deal with the I.S.I.S. threat unless we confront them, and I'd much rather have it happen over there than here.   But, as I've said before many times, war is ugly.  If you have to fight one, you have to fight it with no holds barred, with every asset you have and with convincing determination to win and get out.  

We should be in and out of there in 90 days, leaving behind a non-existent I.S.I.S. and sending a clear message to the world that we mean business.  

They're talking about us being in there for a long time... maybe even a "generation."  I am diametrically opposed to this rerun of American-style, politically managed "war."  Given the direction they're headed in, I vote strongly that we stay the hell out. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

AND WHAT ABOUT IRAN?

SPECIAL POST

We've been so wrapped up with I.S.I.S. and its growing pure-evil lately that we just may be overlooking an even bigger danger... Iran.  

Most Americans don't realize that the influence of Iran extends far beyond its borders and into the entire region, including Syria and Iraq.  Almost no one in that region makes a move without at least running it by the Iranian government first.  That fact has a great deal to do with the reluctance of the regional countries to join the U.S. in a war against I.S.I.S.  Indeed, the way things are sizing up with I.S.I.S. using Syria as a safe haven, I think there is a strong probability that Iran is playing a support role to the terrorists.  

That having been said, what about the continuing progress of Iran toward nuclear weapons?  That factor has been downplayed in recent weeks and months, but the fact is that talks are again at a standstill; and they continue to get closer and closer to the reality of a nuclear weapon.  In fact, I think that the final construction of a nuclear bomb could be much closer than we think... perhaps even imminent. 

Obama has proven himself to be aversive to confrontation and totally inept in the nuances of leadership among nations.  If indeed his perceived weakness has severely decreased America's ability to rally support to deal with I.S.I.S., what level of support can we depend on if we have to deal with Iran?

ELONGATED SKULLS: PROOF OF ANCIENT ALIENS?

SPECIAL POST

Let us digress from the politics of the day and talk about the possibility that aliens from another planet visited this planet centuries ago. 

We are aware that archaeologists discovered ancient skulls from Egypt that are elongated.  The explanation put forth is that the parents would wrap the skulls of infants under the belief that increased cranial capacity would cause increased intelligence.  I could buy that cultural explanation, but there's a problem with it: elongated skulls have been found in Peru, Russia and elsewhere.  How could the "wrapping" theory exist among so many diverse and logistically separated cultures? 

Some limited DNA testing has been done on Peruvian skulls and the initial conclusion is that the DNA consists of "no known DNA."  Granted, there could be a species of human beings from Earth which possessed a DNA previously undiscovered; I cannot rule out that possibility, but I have to again ask: "Why over such a diverse and logistically separated span of the Earth?"  Advanced DNA testing is in the works. 

One of the things that has always puzzled me is why, if we are all descendants from Adam and Eve as the Bible teaches us, why ere there browns, blacks and whites?  The logical conclusion is that browns, blacks and whites are descendants of different genetic beginnings.  Indeed, we know about four different DNA roots originating back to the beginning of human existence.  

Could it be that Earth was inhabited by four, five or more different alien civilizations at one time?  Or, could one alien civilization have created life on Earth in four or more DNA mixtures?  

Nothing I am posing here is in conflict with my fundamental belief in God, the Supreme Being, the Great Spirit.  What I AM posing is that, if ancient aliens ever did exist on this planet, did they leave behind evidence of their existence and are we now beginning to discover it? 

Perhaps, in the search for the answer to that question, we will discover where Obama really came from.

OBAMA'S SPEECH: ASSAD AND PUTIN THREATEN U.S.

SPECIAL POST

Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has come out strongly and firmly warning the United States against any military action against terrorists within its borders unless it is approved by Damascus.  "Any action of any type without the approval of Syrian government is an aggression against Syria," says Ali Haidar, minister of national reconciliation affairs.

"The US president has spoken directly about the possibility of strikes by the US armed forces against Isil positions in Syria without the consent of the legitimate government," Russian ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said yesterday.  "This step, in the absence of a UN Security Council decision, would be an act of aggression, a gross violation of international law."


This whole issue is thorny beyond imagination.  For example, you have Putin backing Assad and you have Iran calling a lot of shots with the Shiites as well as the Iraqi and Syrian governments.  What are we going to get into if we start air strikes against I.S.I.S. headquarters in Syria? Certainly, we have no legal right to go into Syria unless we are willing to warn that we are at war with terrorism and any nation who doesn't join us or who gives safe haven to terrorists is our enemy and therefore at war against us... then we have that right.  But, Obama has come nowhere close to saying that. 

Assad should rightfully be the one to take on I.S.I.S. within his borders and rout them out; if he doesn't, then he has no leg to stand on because he is our de facto enemy and we are in  a de facto war. 

Anyone who has even lightly studied the history of terrorism understands that they do not abide by Geneva conventions or other so-called "rules of war."  They have no compunctions about beheading those in their way and dragging their bloody corpses through the streets.  They rape, they pillage and plunder without any reservations; in short, they are 180 degrees from anything close to the "political correctness" we seem bound and determined to pursue, even in war.   

They will hide from our bombers and drones and then gather again to continue their relentless campaign against peace and civility.  You can't scare these guys with bombs or drones and anyone who thinks you can does not understand the simple fact that they consider it to be an honor to die while trying to kill you.  You can aim a tank at them and they will continue to run toward you with their knives and small arms knowing fully that if there are enough of them, some will get through.  

Our premature withdrawal and subsequent absence from Iraq set up the ability for I.S.I.S. to flourish.  We lost the initiative when we didn't take out their desert training camps when Obama was declaring an end to the war against terrorism.  Now, Obama is hell-bent on withdrawing the rest of our troops from Afghanistan, thereby opening the door even more for the expansion of I.S.I.S.

In short, Obama is setting us up for another embarrassing and costly exercise in futility.  And if our country and the world are at this sad state of affairs now, can you possibly imagine where we are going to be two years from now? 

Perhaps we should draw another red line in the sand; we'll just make it thicker this time.

WE NEED A HAWK IN THE WHITE HOUSE

SPECIAL POST

The willy-Nelly attitude Obama has displayed in the Oval Office regarding our national security has directly led to the sad and scary state of affairs around the world today; just about everyone agrees with that.  

I'm not advocating that we have a President who is ready to go nuke an errant nation at the drop of a hat.  I am suggesting that we need to deal in our international affairs from a position of formidable strength, and this President and his disappearing red lines simply do not measure up to the task. 

This should be the primary yardstick that any candidate in 2016 is measured by.

ANOTHER LONG, DRAWN-OUT WAR LOSS LOOMS

SPECIAL POST

Barry Goldwater said it about Vietnam: "Either shit or get off the pot or we'll still be here ten years from now."  What he meant was, if you're going to fight a war you need to throw everything into it and win it convincingly; if you're not willing to do that, get out and stay out.  Well, he was running for President and that language scared the hell out of everybody, so he lost... and so did America.  We didn't fight that war to win, we didn't get out, we were still there ten years down the road and we eventually left with our tails tucked between our legs because Washington and politics were dictating the conduct of the war. 

We've just finished doing the exact same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan and we've lost 4,000 American souls on the battlefields in the process.  

Wanna do it it again?  It looks to me as if that's the direction we're headed in.  Obama says we're going to be in there for the long haul, at least three years.  He simply wants to reduce their numbers and effectiveness so he can "manage" I.S.I.S.  There's no commitment to win this war; he's making it clear up front that the war will be managed by politicians in Washington and not by on-site generals and military experts.  

I have no stomach for this.  Why fight another battle if we don't intend to win it?  I don't want to see any more American lives sacrificed on a lost cause.  We either need to shit, or get off the pot. 

There is a third alternative: We could convert to Islam before we get beheaded.

STRATEGY: ON THE OTHER HAND...

SPECIAL POST

There has been much justifiable ado over Obama's admission that he had no strategy to deal with the advent of I.S.I.S., although he's known about it for over a year.  He now says he has a strategy and that he's going to announce it Wednesday, after he meets with Congressional leaders to discuss it on Tuesday.  

You now what?  I don't want to hear his damned strategy. 

In the first place, whatever comes out of his mouth is about as trustworthy as a pig in a poke.  In the second place, no military-minded President would want the enemy to know what his strategy was.  If your enemy knows what your strategy is, he knows in advance how to defeat it.  Telling I.S.I.S. what his strategy is going to be is somewhat akin to treason, the giving away of national secrets or aiding and abetting the enemy.  

Your strategy needs to be a surprise designed to catch your enemy off guard.  That's where I think George Bush failed miserably, because he announced to the world for months on end that unless Saddam allowed full and complete searches for weapons of mass destruction by the U.N., we intended to go into Iraq and get them.  We eventually ended up in Iraq and guess what?  No weapons of mass destruction were ever found.  

If you say we're going to go after I.S.I.S. headquarters and training camps in Syria, do you really expect them to park their camels there and wait for us? 

I don't know which is more dangerous, to admit to the world that you have no strategy at all or that you do have a strategy and then to tell them what it is.  

But then again, the country didn't elect Obama because of his military prowess; it elected him because he was a handsome, black, smooth-talking con artist.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

PRESIDENT'S INACTION THREATENS NATIONAL SECURITY

We are just days away from the 13th anniversary of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.  If that fact alone does not raise your superstitious concerns, consider that I.S.I.S., Al Qaeda, the Taliban... virtually every radical Muslim terrorist group on the planet... has announced publicly that it wants to annihilate America.  Yet, there is no call for increasing the security levels of law enforcement, military operations or government agencies. 

We have I.S.I.S. which has several times openly declared war on the U.S.; yet, we have a President who says we are not at war with I.S.I.S.  

We have intelligence sources telling us that I.S.I.S. operatives have established relationships with Mexican drug cartels and have actually been spotted in some Mexican border towns.  Yet, our border is wide open because we have a President who has consistently and adamantly refused to seal off the border and thereby ensure our security.  

We have a President who says he was unaware of the I.S.I.S. growth and threat until recently, versus reliable sources who insist that the subject matter has been explicitly included in White House intelligence briefings, (which Obama never attends), and written intelligence briefs prepared for the President for over a year. 

We have a terrorist organization which openly beheads American journalists and broadcasts its brutal acts to the world and we have a President who admits he has no strategy to deal with the problem, but suggests that we can "shrink" them and "manage" them.  And news came yesterday that several large planes have come up missing in Libya; take that and the missing Malaysian passenger plane and ask yourself if another attack against the U.S. could be in the works... Maybe across that Mexican border that we refuse to defend.  

The President has a Constitutional duty to protect and defend the United States.  He's not doing it.  

I don't know about you, but I don't like the odds.

SCARY TIMES, SCARY THOUGHTS

SPECIAL POST

So, here we are, faced with I.S.I.S. and having no strategy except, it seems, asking for and waiting for others to join the fight.  Is that really a good idea? If no one else joins the fight, does that mean we allow I.S.I.S. to take over the world?  If not, at what point would we change our minds... after our homeland is struck again?  

Here's the problem, as I see it:  What other country would want to follow Obama into a war? 

Does that put you on edge a little bit?  Well, considering how he has treated them in the past, how ready and willing is our own military going to be to step up and follow Obama into a war? 

We're like sitting ducks here, parked with our southern border wide open while knowing that terrorists have established partnerships with the Mexican drug cartels, having no higher level of security alert status, moving no military assets closer to the Middle East, and stuck with a President who thinks he can somehow "manage" I.S.I.S.  

Enjoy your dinner.

TERRORIST BEHEADINGS: BARACK FINALLY REACTS

Here we are, a week before the anniversary 9/ll/2011, facing a far more serious threat to our nation, with no effort to secure our southern border and no increase in the level of our national security status... and a President who just doesn't give a shit.

ANOTHER BEHEADING: WHAT'S NEXT, BARACK?

SPECIAL POST

Two weeks after American James Foley was beheaded by his Islamic State captors, a video emerged yesterday afternoon purporting to show freelance journalist Steven Sotloff being beheaded in the same way.  If my memory serves me correctly, two journalists remain in terrorist captivity, one being female and one male. 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that at least one of those five terrorists we traded for Bergdahl is involved in this I.S.I.S. "stuff."  

What's do you suppose it's going to take for this "Mr. Cool" President we have to get off his dead ass and develop a strategy... another beheading, one on the White House lawn?  

Mr. and Mrs. America, you need to be on the phone, sending emails and faxes to your members of Congress.  If we don't rain, and rain with all of our might on this I.S.I.S. parade, they WILL be here, and sooner than you think.   

Why is our southern border not sealed?  Why is our national security alert status not increased?   Why are we not moving assets into the region?  WHERE IN THE HELL IS OUR PRESIDENT?!!!

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

WORLD CONSENSUS: I.S.I.S. COULD HIT U.S. WITHIN MONTHS

SPECIAL POST

While the Obama team has begun to downplay the threat I.S.I.S. poses to the U.S., a growing number of national and world leaders are warning that I.S.I.S. is growing rapidly, is well-funded and organized, and that it poses a much more robust threat to our national security than Al-Qaeda did in the days leading up to the 9/11 World Trade Center attack.  Some have gone so far as to suggest that an attack across our porous southern border is imminent, while others fear the advent of car-bombs on the streets of America and similar terrorist activities are literally "just around the corner."  

Concern was raised as we went into the weekend when Britain upped it's threat level to "severe."  Now, even King Abudallah of Saudi Arabia is warning that I.S.I.S. could be attacking the U.S. and Europe within months.  Law enforcement officials and intelligence authorities believe that more than 1,000 U.S. citizens with passports are already active I.S.I.S. members, raising the specter of attacks from within; with their passports, they have virtually total freedom to move in and out of the country.  When President Obama came out and admitted that he still does not have a strategy to deal with the situation, after which he headed out of town on a fund-raising campaign trip, even the Democrats started to worry.  

With our southern border wide-open and unattended, (border patrol agents are busy baby-sitting),  it is entirely possible that an attack of some magnitude could be launched from there, even as soon as 9/11. 

And here we are, sitting ducks saddled with a President who either doesn't get it, or simply doesn't give a damn.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted. 

HAPPY LABOR DAY
